Is that suppose to be a good case for a GH album? Aerosmith done it 15
years ago? Aerosmith are garbage - they aren't even in the same league
as U2. I think a point a lot of the GH apologists are forgetting is that
a GH album has been discussed for a long time on wire - and everybody
generally agreed that it would be a bad thing - now that it is actually
happening, the people against GH are being told they are wrong because
they should trust what U2 are doing. I'm not saying U2 are washed up -
but that is the way just about everyone in the industry and the public
will see it. I'm more worried about it because i think it's plain lazy -
U2 have seen a pile of cash for doing absolutely nothing, and taken it -
and I don't think they would have taken it 5 years ago. I want to be
proved wrong, but I have a horrible feeling this is the beginning of the
end.
